"Avalon looked to expand his fan base with more adult recordings as well as venturing into films. Taking his Philadelphia bred, Italian ancestry as his inspiration, Frankie had long wanted to record an album of Italian songs, a dream that was finally realized in 1962 with the release of this album. Grace Jones also covered this song (Grace, whose Jamaican family lived in the last house on a dead end street in Syracuse NY's Lycourt neighborhood surrounded by mostly 2nd generation Italian neighbors). You could just about see my 8th grade English teacher, Jeanette Pietrantoni's house from their front yard, looking across the Lycourt Jr. HS football field. Perhaps Grace will be invited into the Margin before too long. For now, click link attached to this entry. "

Dawid devotes this album to Saint Escrava Anastacia, a popular folk saint venerated in Brazil. An enslaved woman of African descent, Anastacia is depicted as possessing incredible beauty, having piercing blue eyes and wearing a punitive iron facemask. Without an official history, stories of Anastacia's life vary. Some place her birth in Africa, where it is stipulated that Anastacia was the child of a black, female slave from the west coast of Africa. Her mother was raped by her owner- and Anastacia was the result -the first black child to be born with blue eyes. The plantation owner had the baby sent away, to hide the evidence of his ‘infidelity’ from his wife. -wiki

"Recorded by Dr. Harry Oster (w/Richard Allen) at Angola State Penitentiary, Angola LA between 1952 & 1959. Williams was born in Zachary, Louisiana, to a family of sharecroppers. He had no formal schooling, and spent his childhood picking cotton and cutting sugar cane. In 1928, he moved to Baton Rouge, Louisiana and worked in a lumberyard. At the age of 20, Williams fashioned a crude guitar by attaching five copper strings to a cigar box, and soon after bought a cheap, mass-produced one. He began to play for small events such as Church gatherings, fish fries, suppers, and dances. When this was recorded, he was serving a life sentence for fatally shooting a man in a nightclub in 1956, an act which he claimed was in self-defense. Oster and Allen recorded Williams performing several of his songs about prison life, and pleaded for him to be pardoned. Under pressure from Oster, the parole board issued a pardon, and commuted his sentence to 12 years. In December 1958, he was released into 'servitude parole', which required 80 hours of labor per week on a Denham Springs farm without due compensation, and only room and board provided. This parole prevented him from working in music, though he was able to occasionally play with Butch Cage and Willie B. Thomas at Thomas's home in Zachary. By this time, Williams' music was becoming popular, and he played at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival. - wiki"
